47.Sh DESCRIPTION
48The
49.Nm net80211
50layer includes
51.Xr ddb 4
52support for displaying important data structures.
53This is especially important because wireless applications are often
54built for embedded environments where cross-machine or post-mortem
55debugging facilities like
56.Xr kgdb 1
57are infeasible.
58.Pp
59The most commonly used command is
60.Bd -literal -offset indent
61show all vaps/a
62.Ed
63.Pp
64which dumps the contents of all
65.Vt ieee80211vap ,
66.Vt ieee80211com ,
67and
68.Vt ieee80211_node
69data structures in the system.
